look at the flow. if you are sure the co2 and nutes are at the level required by the given lighting, then flow is all that is left to cause issues. have you tried measuring co2 levels in different parts of the tank?

check out he tropica catalogue for water conditions etc. http://www.e-pages.dk/tropica/4/

what is a gravel tidy? dont get to carried away with the lighting at start up, certainly not a good idea to use any more than 2 of your tubes at the beginning. getting the CO2 levels and flow right are far more important, with this in mind its probably better to wait a little while before you...

it could be just the posting and moving. or it'll be co2 levels, i ran pressurized co2 pretty high levels. the light in my tank was a 30 something watt t8 on for 10 hours, 2x54w t5 for 8 hours an "midday burst" of another 2x 54w t5 so it was pretty high!! hopefully they will just melt a...

got a photo? i have both in my tank, not pruned the stellatus yet tho, guessing its the same as the limno. just cut it off where you require and replant the tops the bases will also send out more shoots

oh yeah, just remembered. they have a large juwel vision at my lfs (aqua jardin, near gloucester) it has 5xt5 running 10 hours a day!!!!!!!!!!!!! the hygro just stays low and grows along the substrate, looks gorgeous! as does the rest of the tank!

i believe it will grow fine in a low light non co2 tank, under higher light however the plant leaves will grow to be much finer and more "delicate"

why are ppl always saying how expensive it can be? http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.p ... ts_id=1809 this would cost £60-£70 per year in a 240 litre tank, which is pretty much the same it'll cost me to refill my FE's in a year. am i missing something?

are you using co2? and what is the lighting?

and is the light duration the same? i cut my t5's down by one hour last week and the pink/red has pretty much totally gone from my rotundifolia!

thats a really unusual looking tank, nice source for insparation! if you give it a go, be sure to start a journal, be really interesting to see the progress! actually start a journal regardless! ;0)

mine are between 3 and 5 if the test kit can be trusted! from the link posted it seems you get green spot in the side of the tank that you think retains co2 after lights out?? wouldn't that kinda point to a flow problem in that area??

yup! unless you have tweezers, its probably easier to cut the wool away from the bottom so that only 1cm remains and then cut the plant/wool into quarters or eighths, then plant the wool in the substrate. if that makes sense! :? thats what tropica recommends anyhow!

just to add my experience of it! i'm doing 50% changes. very early on in the tanks life the W/C water added was colder than the tank water, i had lots of this "fake" pearling. now water added is pretty much exactly the same temp as tank water and i see hardly any of this "fake" pearling after a...

if you are just wanting a load of cheap plants to get a new tank up and running and replacing plants as the the tank grows in and as funds allow then try "last Trading Post" on ebay, big packs of cheap easy grow plants. get to see and try lots of different plants out for cheap!
